... the Galileo Museum which was really interesting showing many instruments and devices for star gazing, experiments and medical discoveries over 500 years. Our Chianti wine journey followed sitting in the shade enjoying 29 degrees and people watching. Dinner tonight was pasta and great conversations with other Aussies on their Florence adventure.

I have to say, it wasn't my favorite pizza from this trip—the crust was too salty plus I prefer thinner, crunchier crust.
